ALEXANDRA.
(FROM A?COHRKSPOXDfcsf.) The departure of our Gold Receiver to .parts Arrovian has excited our agitative bumps, an I weaie now in the, throes of a young revolution. At first we contented ourselves With sending round a petition for establishing a Court House at Cromwell, instead of at Clyde. This step was induced by a retrenchment fit overtaking our leading townsmen, who felt that for the sake of keeping the honorarium of our Provincial Councillors at a pound a day, our miners ought to travel twenty three miles to have thoY disputes settled. However, calm reflection caused our “leaders ’’ to reconsider their action, and they have gone in for a sub-warden for Alexandra. More power to them! Law at every man’s door is the motto of yours truly in particular, and the mining population in general. A meeting to consider the advisability and desirability id having a sub-warden stationed Imre is to take place to moi row night, when it is to be hoped that all and sundry those interested, that is to say, the mining public, will assemb'e in force. Alining news is obsolete, that eonfouu. e I Molyneiix will not be acaeeomodating. 1 can’t write any more, so 1 will subscr be myself yours incoherently, and wish you good d ry.
